Chapter 4: Falling off a cliff

Looking at the fine iron carved arrows on the ground, Li Mu's pupils shrank, and he found that there were two big characters engraved on the arrows - Shadow Kill.

"Friends of the Shadow Killing Sect, please show up, I, Li Mu, think that I have not offended you, why do you want to assassinate me?"

Li Mu's eyes were like lightning, and he stared at the jungle in the distance and shouted loudly.

The Shadow Killing Gate, a huge assassination organization with forces entrenched in Dusk Cloud City and several surrounding cities, is rumored to have masters of the Innate Realm in charge.

The Shadow Killing Gate specializes in assassination missions on weekdays.,Regardless of the identity and family of the other party.,It's claimed that as long as you can afford the money, there's no one you can't kill.。

Although Li Mu had never been far away, he had heard of some forces in Dusk Cloud City, so he knew the identity of the person who came when he saw the carved arrows with inscriptions.

"Hahaha, he is worthy of being a genius of the Li family, and he still knows the existence of my shadow killing door at a young age"

In the face of Li Mu's shouting, five figures walked out of the jungle in the distance, all of whom were dressed in black clothes and black cloth masks, all holding swords, bows and crossbows.

"Everyone, what did I do to offend you?" Feeling the extraordinaryness of the other party, Li Mu's mood was a little heavy, although he couldn't use his vitality, but the unique perception of the acquired realm had no effect at all, among the five people on the other side, there were three solid tens, one in the early days of the day after tomorrow, and one in the middle of the day after tomorrow.

"Our shadow killing door has always collected money to eliminate disasters for others, boy, you didn't offend our shadow killing door, you offended our employer, someone spent 50,000 taels of silver to collect your life, you can't blame us!"

The five Shadow Killing Sect disciples surrounded Li Mu, and the person who was obviously the leader smiled indifferently, this person was the highest cultivation among these people, and he had the cultivation of the middle stage of the day after tomorrow.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, such a big deal, I am a short-lived waste person is still worth so much money, five friends, see if you can make the next death understand, who wants my life again and again?"

"Boy, if you don't want to visit me, among the many rules of my shadow killing door, revealing employer information is the first taboo, anyway, it's a death, you better go with peace of mind!

The man at the head of the Shadow Killing Gate waved his hand after speaking, only to see that all the people in the Shadow Killing Gate opened their bows and arrows, aiming at Li Mu.

Li Mu subconsciously retreated, but at this moment, the place he was at was the top of the Sunset Peak, and not far behind was the Wanzhang Cliff, and there was no way to retreat.

"I admit it in your hands today, but I'm very curious, although many people know that I was poisoned and couldn't use my vitality, but the matter of my leaving the Li family, except for a limited number of people in my Li family, it is impossible for outsiders to know, how do you know!"

"Anyway, you are also a dying person, I will reveal a little to you, you guessed right, the mastermind behind the scenes is indeed related to your Li family, but as for who it is, you should go and ask the king of Hades!!!

After Ying Forty-Nine finished speaking, the broadsword in his hand lit up with a yellow light, which was one of the symbols of injecting vitality into the weapon, and the yellow light of the broadsword flashed, turning into a knife shadow, and slashed towards Li Mu.

"When!!" There was a crisp sound, Li Mu gathered all his strength and swung his sword to meet him, but he couldn't use his vitality, how could he be the opponent of Shadow Forty-Nine by brute force alone, under the opponent's knife, the whole person took a few steps back, and he was now unable to retreat as soon as he returned to the starter, and there was a cliff behind him.

"You can't let me go? I will repay the great kindness of the Li family when I return to the Li family one day!" Looking at the cliff behind him, and then at the five people who were killing the door, Li Mu clenched his fists and was still a little unwilling.

"Let you go back, we can still live, take your life!" Shadow Forty-Nine finished speaking, he took off the longbow he was carrying, and he opened the bow and arrow, and at the same time, a breath of vitality was injected into the fine iron carved arrow in his hand.

With the infusion of the Shadow Forty-Nine Vitality, the arrow lit up with a pale yellow brilliance, and a devastating aura emanated from the fine iron carved arrow.

Feeling the horror of the opponent's arrows, Li Mu glanced at the five of them resentfully, and without waiting for the other party to attack, he decisively turned around and jumped off the cliff behind him.

With a thick white mist in front of him and the sound of the wind in his ears, Li Mu felt the sensation of floating in the air for the first time, even if it was the death knell of death, he still felt wonderful.

Recalling the bits and pieces of his life, many past events are vivid, a figure flashed in his mind, and finally Li Mu felt that he was tired, too tired to live, even if there were still many regrets, such as the news of his mother, the Li family who poisoned himself and called someone to kill him, and the peak of martial arts that he longed for when he was ignorant, but unfortunately all this will eventually come to naught with today's past.

The sound of the wind in his ears was still urgent, and just when Li Mu was about to die, suddenly an invisible force surged from one side, this power seemed to be a violent air current, under its effect, Li Mu only felt that the sky was spinning, and then it seemed to hit something.

Li Mu was dizzy, and there was a sharp pain in his head, and he didn't have time to open his eyes to take a look, and his eyes were black and he passed out.

On the sunset peak, the shadow forty-nine and five people looked at each other, and Li Mu's jumping off the cliff was somewhat unexpected to them.

"Head, that kid jumped like this, I'm afraid that the employer won't be able to explain it when I go back."

A Shadow Killing Sect disciple said with some concerns.

"We can't stop him from jumping off the cliff himself, this sunset cliff is bottomless, not to mention that he is a kid in the early days of the day after tomorrow, even if the strong man of the innate realm falls down and has no life, he can say whatever he wants to say when he goes back, I don't believe that the other party will still be unable to get along with me for this!" Shadow Forty-Nine smiled predictably, and then left the place with the other four without looking back.

I don't know how long it took, Li Mu opened his eyes in a daze, and the moment he regained consciousness, his first feeling was pain, especially his head, he gritted his teeth in pain, and after recovering a little half a cup of tea, the pain slowly faded.

Li Mu didn't know why he wasn't dead yet, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that before he fell unconscious, he seemed to be swept up by an inexplicable air current, and finally bumped into something and fainted, but he didn't have any impression of anything else.

With a few rays of light coming from the entrance of the cave not far away, Li Mu quickly saw the environment he was in at the moment, this was a cave, the cave was not wide, only three or four meters in appearance, but it was very long, and there was no end in sight.

"What kind of place is this! It shouldn't be the bottom of the sunset peak!"

Li Mu stood up slowly, he was a little embarrassed at the moment, his clothes were in tatters, his body was mottled with blood, and he was bruised in many places, but fortunately, these were small injuries and did not hurt his muscles and bones.

Looking around, Li Mu didn't make any big discoveries, this cave was very ordinary, except for a few passages in front of him that didn't know where it led, there was nothing unusual.

In the end, Li Mu walked to the hole where the light came in, and generally speaking, the place where there was light must be the exit.

"I'm !!" walked to the entrance of the cave and couldn't help but scold angrily, this cave entrance was actually opened up on the edge of the cliff, if he hadn't been careful and didn't step out with one foot, maybe he would have fallen off the cliff by now.

"Could it be... Could it be that this cave is on the cliff face of Sunset Peak?"

"Yes! It must be so, and only in this way can it be explained, why I fell off the cliff but didn't die, I should have been caught in some kind of air flow in the middle of the fall, and I was swept into this cliff cave!"

Li Mu guessed the cause and effect of the incident before and after, and while he lamented that he was immortal, he was more depressed, because he didn't know how to leave this place.

"I don't know how high it is from the ground, and I can't leave here unless I put on my wings!"

Li Mu didn't know whether he was lucky or sad, and he was in a dilemma at the moment.

"I can't count on going out from this entrance, I just don't know if there are other exits, anyway, I'm idle, it's better to explore first!" Li Mu thought in his heart and walked into a passage at the other end of the cave.

The cave passage extends in all directions, I don't know if it is artificially excavated or naturally formed, as it goes deeper and deeper, Li Mu's face becomes ugly.

This cave seems to have no end, not to say how far the passage is, but this passage extends in all directions, there are many forked intersections, like a small labyrinth, Rao is Li Mu's memory is amazing, and he was also lost in the dim light, and had to stop.

"There is no doubt that this cave must have been dug by hand, otherwise it would not have been so difficult to walk!" Li Mu muttered to himself, and when he was hesitating how to get out of this trapped situation, his expression suddenly moved, and his face became suspicious.

"It's the fifteenth time! Li Mu muttered to himself, the reason why he said this was because since he entered the passage, every once in a while he would feel a hot wind coming from the depths of the passage.

This hot air is not strong, normal people can't even feel it, Li Mu didn't pay too much attention to it at first, but many times Li Mu still clearly sensed it through his keen spiritual sense.

"It stands to reason that a windy place should also be where the exit is, since there is a law to be found, you might as well use this as a clue to go on!"

Li Mu pondered for a moment and then paid attention and explored in the direction where the hot wind blew out.

In this way, Li Mu determined the direction through the hot air that came out every once in a while, and walked for half an hour.

"How can it be so hot, could it be that the origin of this hot wind is a fire vein!" Li Mu wiped the hot sweat on his face, looking at the passage that still couldn't be seen with a look of surprise on his face.

As Li Mu went deeper and deeper, he found that the temperature in the passage was getting higher and higher, and it seemed that he was approaching a big furnace.

After walking forward for hundreds of meters, the terrifying heat filled the entire passage, and beads of sweat the size of beans on Li Mu's face continued to drip down.

Li Mu felt as if he was in a furnace, allowing his physical body to break through the solid tenfold, and it was unbearable in this terrifying temperature.

"What kind of place is this, how can it be so hot, it is not the hinterland of the volcano ahead, but I have never heard that Sunset Peak is a volcano!"

Wiping the hot sweat from his forehead, Li Mu gasped, and he even suspected that he might die of dehydration before he reached his destination.

"Hmm, there's light! Is it an exit!" Just as Li Mu decided whether to continue walking, a fiery red light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
